Edit to say: Do you have doubts to start this book? If you don't care about spoilers, you can read my short review first:
The story is well written, but as a person with limited friend circle (read 2) and poor communication skills I am offended that this book considers my life worthless and tries to say whoever being well-known and liked by the majority has a worthier life! And the author tries to cover this scam by a romance story!
Isn't this familiar to you?!
1) Black Mirror, Season 3, Episode 1: If you are liked by more people, you'll be able to communicate with high class ones, you'll be richer and can buy a house or a car and etc. so you are worthy.
2) Every natural beautiful Gen Z has a TikTok account and is loved by the majority for something (their face) they didn't even create THEMSELVES while LIP-SYNCING a song they haven't even written nor composed. They would still get richer than they are now if they sell their lifetime!!
Even if I had read this book before not-counted-as-talent Gen Z things becomes popular, I still wouldn't have liked this book. Nobody is allowed to judge how worthy my life is. I am the only person in charge who can achieve my goals and be happy.
So, NO.

Eine süße Geschichte :>
Look, I don't have any problem with overtly sexual scenes in books as long as they serve a purpose. The last couple of Gladia and Baley's encounters simply did NOT, and the descriptions of them were like a horny incel's fan fic; bizarre and disturbing.
I loved the last twist though, and everything before Gladia and Baley's odd encounters.

Every year since I was 4, my uncle would take me to an international book fair. But life shifted, I went there with other people, then by myself and eventually, I moved away.
This year, when the fair came around again, I knew even if I were there, it couldn't possibly feel the same — but I still wanted to feel connected. I came across this book that is about the magic of reading books as a child.
It felt like a quiet tribute to my past, a kid without friends and without being able to actually visit exciting places and go on adventures. Even as a teen there was nothing to do other than reading books. Books have been all I've known.
Now I'm glad to have the possibility to experience life and to have my own adventures but this book is a gift to the big part of me that saved me from madness and horror of the environment I've been raised in.

Never knew double sided book existed (I'm new to this). So cool and important to define such a story. The part of me who still has a slight of hope bought this.

Meh. Ich erwartete mehr. Nur eine erste Antwort bringt ja nichts. Das Kind kann das schon. Ich erwartete Beispiele mit richtigen Dialogen, wo man sieht, wie die Bullys danach reagieren und einfach unsere Dinge nicht zurückgeben oder uns weiter schlagen. Oder wie die Eltern sich reagieren sollen und wie sie mit dem Kind umgehen sollen. Was tun dann? Das ist wichtiger!
